Branch-Chain Alkanes
Alkyl group: a hydrocarbon group derived from an alkane by the removal of a hydrogen atom.
Some examples of alkyl groups include -CH3 (methyl), -C2H5 (ethyl), -C3H7 (propyl), etc.
Nomenclature steps:
1)
Find the longest carbon chain. This will be the parent chain.
2)
Start numbering the carbons on the parent chain starting at the carbon closest to the first branch.
3)
Write branches in alpha order, not numerically.
Ex. 1
The longest carbon chain is 5 carbons long. The parent chain is pentane
CH3
CH3 CH

Looking at 2-pentene, the hydrogens located on the 2 and 3 carbons are on the same side, however it is
possible for them to be on opposite sides, as well. These are two different isomers of 2-pentene. Therefore, we
must distinguish between them. When hyrdogens are on the same side of the double (or triple) bond, we use the
suffix cis, if they are on opposite sides we use trans.

Fractional Distillation
Distillation is a process used to separate the various hydrocarbons in a mixture from one another by using the
differences in boiling points.
For example, crude oil is a mixture of various hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons can range from relatively short
chains up to long chains (over 40 carbons long).
Boiling Point
Primary use
1–5
Under 30 C
Fuels for heat and cooking
5–6
30 C to 90 C
Camp fuel/dry-cleaning solvents
5 – 12
30 C to 200 C
Gasoline
12 – 16
175 C to 275 C
Kerosene and diesel fuels
15 – 18
250 C to 375 C

Heavy greases for lubrication
Over 20
Over 450 C
Waxes, cosmetics and polishes
Over 26
Over 500 C
Asphalt and tar for roofs and roads
# Carbon Atoms
To separate high demand (and cost) from the low demand products, the oil subjected to a distillation process.
Notice the boiling points - as a general rule, the lower the number of carbon atoms, the lower the boiling point.
Steps to Fractional Distillation:
1)
2)
3)
4)
The mixture is heated at a high temperature. This will ensure that all hydrocarbons evaporate.
The temperature is then slowly lowered
The gases will condense at different temperatures (their particular boiling points)
As the hydrocarbon gases condense back to a liquid, they are collected
Why does this occur?
Hydrocarbons are non-polar molecules, which means they are held together by weak London Dispersion
Forces. As a hydrocarbon chain increases in size, more energy is required to separate the molecules from each
other, thus the boiling point increases.
Cracking
High value hydrocarbons are gasoline and its immediate by-products. These are typically branched chains with 5
to 12 carbon atoms. As discussed above, crude petroleum is mixture of many hydrocarbons; most straight
hydrocarbon chains some as long as 40. Cracking is a process of converting these long straight chains into the
more profitable shorter branched chains.

Functional Groups
A functional group is a combination of atoms that determine the physical and chemical characteristics of a
compound.
Carbon-Carbon double or triple bonds
- Double and triple bonds are easier to break than single bonds
- Hence compounds containing these are more reactive than those with single bonds
Halogens
- Unequal sharing of electrons result in polar bonds
- This increases intermolecular attraction, increasing the boiling point and melting point
Chemical Reactions
As we see larger, more complicated molecules, a short-hand is useful:

Alkyl group
Halogen atom
Phenyl group

For instance
R- Ø represents an alkyl group attached to a benzene ring.
Complete Combustion:
hydrocarbon + oxygen => carbon dioxide + water
by-products are light and heat; hydrocarbons are very useful as fuels
C3H8(g) + 5 O2(g) → 3 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g)
Substitution Reactions:
One (or more) H atoms are substituted by a halogen (F2, Cl2, Br2)

If allowed to continue, more Br may be added.
Synthesis/Addition Reactions of Alkenes and Alkynes:
A saturated hydrocarbon contains only single bonds
An unsaturated hydrocarbon contains at least one double or triple bonds
Unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes and alkynes), because of the multiple bonds, are more reactive than alkanes.
The double and triple bonds are targets for addition reactions, which cause molecule to go from an unsaturated
state to a saturated state.

Markovnikov’s Rule – When a hydrogen halide or water is added to an alkene or alkyne, the hydrogen atom
bonds to the carbon atom within the double bond that already has more hydrogen atoms. This rule may be
remembered simply as “the rich get richer”.

-
-
Amine is an organic compound which contains a nitrogen attached to one or more alkyl groups
There are three types of amines, and are named depending upon the carbon to which they are attached
º
- An amine that has only one alkyl group attached to the nitrogen is called a primary (1 )
amine
General form is R-NH2
o
º
- An amine that has two alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen is called a secondary (2 ) amine
o General form R-N-H
R’
º
- An amine that has three alkyl groups is called a tertiary (3 ) amine
R”
o General form R-N-R’
You can think of an amine as an ammonia molecule NH3 in which one or more H has been replaced by
an alkyl group.
To name Primary amines:
◦
(1 ) Location of NH2 on C-chain – “AMINO” + alkane name of the HC chain
OR
◦
(1 ) Location of NH2 on C-chain - alkane name of the HC chain + “AMINE”
-
To name Secondary & Tertiary amines:
Step 1: Identify the largest hydrocarbon group attached to the nitrogen atom as the parent
alkane.
Step 2: Name the other alkyl group(s) attached to the nitrogen atom. Instead of position
numbers, use the letter N- to locate the group(s). (If two identical alkyl groups are attached to the
nitrogen atom, use N,N-). This is the prefix.
Step 3: Put the name together: prefix + alkyl + aminoalkane

o The presence of one or more N-H bonds allows hydrogen bonding to take place.
o Amines with low molecular masses (four or less carbon atoms) are completely miscible in water
(hydrogen bonding).
o Boiling points of primary and secondary amines are higher than the boiling points of tertiary amines
(absence of hydrogen bonding).
o Amines have lower boiling points than alcohols.
o Amines are found widely in nature.
Preparing amines
o Reaction of ammonia with an alkyl halide to form an amine.
o Products are separated by fractional distillation due to the differences in boiling points.

Amides
-
characterized by the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to the nitrogen
o general form R-C-N-R’
O R”
-
To name amides:
Step 1: Locate the part of the amide that contains the C=O group. Name the parent carboxylic
acid that this part derives from. Note: the carbon in the C=O group is always given position
number 1.
Step 2: Replace the “oic acid” ending of the name of the parent acid with the suffix “amide”
Step 3: Decide whether the compound is a primary, secondary, or tertiary amide.
DESCRIPTION
Only H atoms attached
to the N atom
TYPE
PREFIX
Primary amide
No prefixes required
Name the alkyl group,
One alkyl group
attached to the N atom
Secondary amide
and give it location Nto indicate that it is
bonded to the N atom
Use location letter Nbefore each group to
Two alkyl groups
attached to the N atom
Tertiary amide
indicate that it is
bonded to the N atom.
If the two groups are
identical, use N,N-
Step 4: Put the name together: prefix + root + suffix

Properties of amides:
o C-N and N-H bonds are polar.
o Primary amides have two N-H bonds, therefore they have even stronger hydrogen bonds than
carboxylic acids.
o Amides are soluble in water (solubility decreases as the non-polar hydrocarbon part of the molecule
increases in size).
o Primary amides have much higher melting and boiling points than carboxylic acids.
o Acetaminophen (an amide) is a main component of many painkillers.
o Urea is another example of an amide. It was the first organic compound to be synthesized in a
laboratory.

Chapter 2 - Polymers
-
-
an extremely large organic compound made of many repeating sub-units
sub-units are called monomers
o not necessarily identical but do occur in a repeating pattern
 –A-A-A-A-A–A-B-B-A- A-B-B-A –A-B-A-B-Aplastics are generally synthetic polymers
depending on desired characteristics, polymers can be designed to have certain properties of strength,
flexibility, durability, transparency or stability
natural polymers include complex carbohydrates , proteins and DNA
Wood (glucose)
proteins (polymer of amino acid)
Nucleic acids

Addition Polymers
-
polymers that form when monomer unit are linked through addition reactions.
Therefore, the monomers must contain double or triple bonds
Three step process:
1)
Initiation
- generate a radical initiator
In + monomer  carbon radical 
Eg
2)
Propagation
- lengthens the chain
- the electrons shift in the newly bonded molecule, leaving one unpaired electron at the
other end of its original double bond
- this unpaired electron forms another covalent bond with another atom or group.
3)
Termination
- terminates the reaction when two unpaired electron ends combine forming a single
covalent bond.
Polymerization of an ethene (aka ethylene) monomer:
In + CH2 = CH2  In-CH2 -CH2
In-CH2 -CH2 + CH2 = CH2  In-CH2 -CH2-CH2 -CH2
In-CH2 -CH2-CH2 -CH2+ CH2 = CH2  In-CH2 -CH2-CH2 - CH2-CH2 -CH2
This makes polythene or polyethylene

Properties of Plastics
• Plastics are polymers of substituted ethene (vinyl)
• Chemically unreactive due to carbon-carbon single bond
• Used for containers for chemicals, foods, etc
• Intermolecular forces: van der Waals and some electrostatic attractions for substituted groups
• Plastics are flexible and moldable due to weak intermolecular forces
Substituted Groups
Teflon
• CF2=CF2
• Strong C-F bonds account for unreactivity of teflon and its non-stick properties even at high temperatures
Plexiglass
• One H on ethene is replaced by –COOCH3
• Group responsible for transparency and optical properties
• Presence of carbonyl group makes plexiglass soluble in other organic solvent containing a carbonyl group
such as acetone
Crosslinking
• Occurs when monomers have two double bonds
• Dienes have two locations where addition can occur
• Dienes can attach to two separate chains at the same time (bridge)
• These bridges (crosslinks) hold the chains together making the polymer much stronger
• Amount of diene added dictate the rigidity of the polymer
• An example of a crosslinking agent is (1,4-diethenylbenzene)

Synthetic Condensation Polymers
•
•
•
•
A reaction in which monomers are joined together by the formation of ester or amide bonds
A water molecule is also produced
Each monomer must have two functional groups (one at each end)
Used for fabrics and fibres
Two “difunctional” molecules  a single molecule
That single molecule + another single molecule  a bigger single molecule
Etc.
